I am designer & programmer w/25 years experience. This software does NOT work. It is a waste of your valuable time. I agree an empty box wouldn't have made me as angry as this. This is SO BAD it is my first ever posting of a review in over 25 years of programming.
HORRIBLE software! Run the other way January 17, 2005

I cannot believe I bought this piece of garbage. I got a wild bug up my backside, ran to the store and bought what I thought looked good. I WAS WRONG!!! This product is garbage.
It constantly crashes. I cannot make the most basic of walls. ALL measurements are by click-and-drag. You can NOT add/customize window trim, door trim, baseboards, etc. They show all kinds of different household accessories on the box, but the faucets, light fixtures, etc., are all VERY crude. The walk-through 'feature' is horrible to use. I should note that is on a single room- every time I try to set two rooms next to each other, the software crashes OR tells me 'invalid wall'. Yet every time I try to click what may be a common wall to edit (it), the software crashes, so if there is an error, the software won't let me fix it.......
There is a 'snap to grid' setting- even though I have it switched off, there are several pieces of furniture that constantly move themselves, while other pieces in the same room stay where I put them..... ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
I thought these were odd errors that only I must be experiencing, yet reading others reviews I see they are all far too common. If Individual Software and/or CompUSA does not agree to refund my money, I will be pursuing action through our attorney general.
CRASH PRONE HUNK OF JUNK December 27, 2004

I have been working on computers since 1975. I have seen some awful programs, including some that I have written. This is the single most crash prone piece of software I have ever had the misfortune to use. No mater what you do, it WILL crash. It WILL corrupt HOURS of work and leave you with no option but to delete the file and start over again.
USE ANYTHING BUT THIS SOFTWARE

I originally bought version 3.0 several years ago, and it was full of bugs and prone to crash..often. But still I found it fun, especially the 3d walk through. When version 6.0 came out, touting new features, I assumed they would have fixed all the bugs in the earlier version, so I purchased it. I WAS VERY WRONG!! This version is even worse. After spending hours working on a project, the program will suddenly crash to the desktop without warning and when you restart the program you will find out the house plan file you were working on is now corrupt. It may still let you view what you've done so far, if it loads without crashing that is, but it will not let you modify the file in any way. This has happened to me many many times on several different plans. I've lost hours and hours of work. Very frustrating. Some other things to mention, The import texture tool works well once, but look out, if you use several imported textures on different plans, you'll find the textures from one house file now covering the walls of your other house file. (The exterior of my house didn't look all that good with bathroom wallpaper covering the siding). And no way to fix this problem, nothing in the help files or on the web site. Adding , deleting or resizing walls can cause havoc: walls may disappear, sometimes doors will close even if you've set them to appear open or you may get the dreaded `invalid boundary' message that notifies you that your plan is forever now ruined. (Hope you saved it before you modified it.) My recommendation: Stay away from this very frustrating program, unless you like beating your head on the wall.

I GIVE UP WITH TRYING TO USE VERSIONS 6.0 AND 7.0! I GOT TIRED OF LOSING PROJECTS HALFWAY INTO THEM. I TRIED TO GET HELP FROM TECH SUPPORT IN WHICH THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY THIS PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING. IM GUESSING THEY USED VERSION 6.0 TO ONLY ADD A FEW NEW FEATURES TO CALL VERSION 7.0 AND DID NOT FIX THE BUGS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE.I HAD GIVEN THIS PRODUCT VERSION 6.0 5 STARS IN THE BEGINNING BUT, AFTER SPENDING COUNTLESS HOURS WITH SO MANY PROJECTS I HAD TRIED TO WORK ON AND HAVING THEM JUST DISAPPEAR I AM EDITING MY REVIEW TO 1 STAR.
